John,
    
    I hope I will express unanimous opinion: It was a pleasure to have
    you as a GM. I would like to thank you for your efforts and
    responsiveness to issues that arise.
    
    Ilya
    
    P.S. Thank you very much to all who participated! I wish you all the
    best in your future endeavors

      Game end!
        
          
        Berkeley???s Blitz is over with a 4-way Draw
            for England, Russia, France & Turkey!
        
          
        The EGP vote was??unanimous and thus the game ends and the
          map does not??change.
        
        
        I shall post the result to the website very soon.
        
        
        
        
        Thank you all for playing - I hope you all enjoyed the
          game. Please feel free to post any End-of-Game statements by
          email to us all, and/or to blitz2014(at)diplomaticcorp.com

Spring 1903
              
              
              Rewind: Nobody NMR???d!
              
              
              The English navy has a
                  successful Spring bombardment and takes Kiel! Russian
                  Fleets destroy the Danish Army, and Germany is
                  annihilated!Austria still hangs on and sails his Fleet
                  up the Adriatic, while the remaining Army loses his
                  bearings and stands still in Vienna, thinking he was
                  in Venice. Russia invades Budapest, while Turkey has a
                  cabinet re-shuffle.
              
              
              No retreats as the Fleet
                  Kiel and Army Denmark had nowhere to go.
              
              
              We say goodbye to Austin,
                  Germany is eliminated.
              
              
              I don???t quite know what
                  happened with the missing orders. They eventually
                  turned up late, but with valid timestamps in my Spam
                  mailbox. Sorry for the late adjudication. I have also
                  verified with the backup - thanks to Mike Simms.
              
              
              We can all learn from this
                  - it???s essential that you all copy to orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com,
                  and I need to be more trusting than to believe I had 3
                  NMR???s! I am reasonably sure that I have the complete
                  set now, as the ones I found matched what you all told
                  me, plus the TD has forwarded the contents of orders(at)
                  .??
              
                
              If not, we will have to
                  delay and ??ask the TD to help here.
              
                
              One thing to note: I do
                    always acknowledge receipt. If you you??don???t??get an ack, then please
                    send a 
separate email saying you???ve sent??orders but
                  had no ack. If the spam filters are being tripped by
                  some content in your email, it???s??important to not just
                  repeat the same??thing again.
              
                
              Note

?because
                  of all this I may leave updating the website until
                  tomorrow.
